Description of the contract
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A NOT A CONTRACT OPPORTUNITY BUT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE MARKET TO ENGAGE IN A PRE-PROCUREMENT MARKET ENGAGEMENT EXERCISE.Hertfordshire County Council (the “Council”) is carrying out a pre-procurement market engagement (PPME) process in relation to its requirement for consultancy support to develop a new transport vision for Hertfordshrie. Therefore, the Council has published this notice to alert potentially interested organisations with appropriate expertise and/or relevant experience of this potential opportunity and the contracting authority’s purchasing intentions. The Council is looking for interested organisations to complete and submit the Supplier Questionnaire (see section 12. Other Information of this notice).The purpose of the Council’s PPME process is to allow and enable potentially interested organisations with appropriate expertise and/or relevant experience to: – establish a series of broad options for strategic level transport packages that address the challenges identified in Stage 1 facing Hertfordshire up to 2050, – produce a technical report and non-technical supporting material to be used for public consultation to gather views on the approrpaite strategic direction for Hertfordshire’s long term transport vision to 2050.The Council will consider the input and responses received to help inform the Council’s options and further decision making. However, the decision on how to proceed is subject to approval under local authority governance procedures. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the pre-procurement market engagement process shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the pre-procurement process shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the PPME process will be at each supplier’s own cost. No expense in responding to this process will be reimbursed by the Council. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum budget for this service is approximately GBP 100,000.
